Smells bad (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reeks

'smells bad' is the definition.
(reeking is a kind of smelling bad)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for reeks that I've seen before include "Smells bad" , "Gives off a strong unpleasant smell" , "Smells very strongly" , "Macgillycuddy's - -" , "Is humming" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Newsday.com, the New York Times and The Times.
